#### **REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To Member's of WWF Securities, LLC

#### **Opinion on The Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of WWF Securities, LLC (the "Company") as of December 31, 2022, and as of inception from October 23, 2020, through December 31, 2021, the related statements of operations, member's equity and cash flows for the year then ended, including the related notes (collectively referred to as "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### **Emphasis-of-Matter - Going Concern Risk**

As Noted in 10, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced recurring operating losses and negative cash flow and has financed its working capital requirements through contributions. These conditions raise doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect to this matter.

#### **Emphasis-of-Matter – Regulatory and Calendar Periods for Financial Reporting**

As described in Note 11, the Company was formed and began operating on October 23, 2020; However, FINRA membership was granted November 15, 2021, requiring financial statement auditing for 13 months ended December 31, 2022, while the audited component units are 27 months comprised of 12 calendar months for 2022 and 15 months from inception to December 31, 2021. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

#### **Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as, evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

#### **Report on Supplementary Information**

The accompanying information contained in the Supplementary Information section has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company's financial statement. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with Rule 17a-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, if applicable, under Regulation 1.10 under the Commodity Exchange Act. In our opinion, the information contained in the Supplementary Information section is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

China Spring, Texas March 2 2, 2023

We have served as the WWF Securities, LLC's auditor since 2022.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

### Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

# Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Revenue from contracts with customers includes placement and advisory services related to capital raising activities and transactions. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. The agreements often contain nonrefundable retainer fees, and/or success fees, which may be fixed or represent a percentage of the value that the customer receives, if and when the transaction is completed ("success fees"). The Company has evaluated its nonrefundable retainer fees, to ensure they relate to the transfer of goods or services, as a distinct performance obligation, in exchange for the retainer.

## Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (codified in ASC 606). The Company recognizes revenue when services are transferred to clients. Revenue is recognized based on the amount of consideration that management expects to receive in exchange for these services in accordance with the terms of the contract with the client. To determine the amount and timing of revenue recognition, the Company must (1) identify the contract with the client, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

{10}------------------------------------------------

#### WWF SECURITIES, LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2022

#### Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Significant judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations are identified; when to recognize revenue based on appropriate measure of the Company's progress under the contract; whether revenue should be presented gross or net of certain costs; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events. In some circumstances, significant judgment is needed to determine the timing and measure of progress appropriate for revenue recognition under a specific contract. If a promised good or service is not distinct, the Company combines that good or service with other promised goods or services until it identifies a bundle of goods or services that is distinct. In some cases, this would result in the Company accounting for all the services promised in a contract as a single performance obligation and, if unfulfilled, amounts received from such contracts would be reflected as deferred revenues on the statement of financial condition.

The Company recognizes certain retainer revenue from contracts with customers at the point in time in which specified deliverables are transferred to the Company's customers.

Success fee revenue for advisory arrangements is generally recognized at the point in time that performance under the agreement is completed (the closing date of the transaction).

#### Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts receivable are non-interest-bearing uncollateralized obligations receivable in accordance with the terms agreed upon with each customer. The Company regularly reviews its accounts receivables for any uncollectible amounts. The review for uncollectible amounts is based on an analysis of the Company 's collection experience, customer credit worthiness, and current economic treads.

#### Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred \$22,500 in advertising expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022.

#### Cash

The Company maintains its bank account in a high credit quality financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits.

# Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

# Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided by use of the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which ranges from five to seven years.

#### Income Taxes

As a limited liability company, the tax consequences of the Company's operations all pass through to the Member. Therefore, the Company 's income or loss is reported on the Member 's partnership income tax return. As a result, no federal or state income taxes are included in the accompanying financial statements as they are the responsibility of the individual owners of the Member.

The Company has adopted the provision of FASB ASC 740-10 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under this provision, the Company is required to evaluate each of its tax positions to determine if they are more likely than not to be sustained if the taxing authority examines the respective position. A tax position includes an entity's status, including its status as a pass-through entity, and the decision not to file a return. The Company has evaluated each of its tax positions and has determined that no provision or liability for income taxes is necessary.

#### Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### Note 3 -Related Party Transactions

The Company and its Member occasionally pay expenses on behalf of each other that are reimbursed at cost with no gain or loss. During the years 2022 and 2021, payments on behalf of one another were \$17,830 AND \$1,332 respectively.. The balance due from member on the accompanying statement of financial condition arose from such transactions.

The Company operates from office space provided by the owners of the Company's Member at no cost to the Company. Financial position and results of operations could have differed from the amounts in the accompanying financial statements if these related party transactions did not exist.

#### Note 4 - Concentrations

During 2022, approximately 100% of investment banking revenues were earned from 1 customer(s). We had no net accounts receivable at December 31, 2022.

#### Note 5 - Net Capital Requirements

The Company is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1) which requires the maintenance of a minimum net capital, as defined, equal to the greater of \$5,000 or one-fifteenth of aggregate indebtedness. At December 31, 2022, the Company had net capital of \$27,298 which exceeded its minimum required net capital of \$5,000 by \$22,298. At December 31, 2022, the Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was .20 to 1.00.

#### Note 6 - Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated all events and transactions that occurred after December 31, 2022 through March 2 2, 2023.

#### Note 7 - Contingencies

The Company is subject to litigation in the normal course of business. The Company has no litigation in progress as of December 31, 2022, as defendant.

#### Note 8 - Economic Risks

In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This pandemic event has resulted in significant business disruption and uncertainty in both global and U.S. markets. While management believes the Company is in an appropriate position to sustain potential short-term effects of these world-wide events, the direct and long-term impact to the Company and its financial statements is undetermined at this time.

#### Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies

The Company does not have any commitments, guarantees or contingencies that may result in a loss or future obligation, or that may be asserted against the firm at a future date.

#### Note 10 - Going Concern and Liquidity Risk

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuation of operations, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company reported a net loss of \$90,572 and relied on cash contributions from member in the amount of \$69,800 to

{13}------------------------------------------------

fund its operation. These results and the \$33,002 of cash on hand on December 31, 2022 raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

In 2023, the Company will focus on expanding its revenues from new customers. The Company will require greater revenues from its placement fee line of business to achieve profitable results. If the Company achieves an increase in revenues, it is expected such funds will provide the working capital necessary to fund the Company's operations in accordance with its currently planned business activities.

Note 11 – Regulatory and Calendar Periods for Financial Reporting

The company was initiated on October 23, 2020, and FINRA membership was granted on November 15th, 2021, requiring regulatory prepared and audited financial statements for 15 months.

Exemption: Footnote 74 of SEC Release No. 34-70073

Lonnie Johnson WWF Securities, LLC 1 Park Avenue, #1707 Detroit, MI 48226

Dear Lonnie Johnson:

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Exemption Report, in which WWF Securities, LLC has indicated that it is not operating under an exemption pursuant to 17 C.F.R. § 15c3-3(k), but rather operates pursuant to Footnote 74 of SEC Release No. 34-70073 and that WWF Securities, LLC does not, directly or indirectly receive, hold, or owe funds or securities for or to customers other than funds received and promptly transmitted in compliance with paragraphs (a) or (b)(2) of Rule 15c2-4, and WWF Securities, LLC does not carry accounts of customers and WWF Securities, LLC does not carry proprietary accounts as defined in Rule 15c3-3. WWF Securities, LLC stated that it has met the requirements to operate pursuant to Footnote 74 of SEC Release No. 34-70073 throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception, or, with exception as noted in the Representation Letter of Exemption. WWF Securities, LLC's management is responsible for compliance with the exemption provisions and its statements*.* Our review was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included inquiries and other required procedures to obtain evidence about WWF Securities, LLC's compliance with its operations as such pertain to its operations under Footnote 74 of SEC Release No. 34-70073. A review is substantially less in scope than an examination, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on management's statements. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on my review, We are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to management's statements referred to above for them to be fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the provisions set forth in Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
